Robin’s doctor has also spoken about the star’s condition. Imperial College Healthcare’s Dr Thillainayagam admits initially being worried about the singer’s chances, saying he has shown extraordinary strength by pulling through.

“The prognosis was very grave, given that Robin had brain swelling from liver failure, a severe pneumonia and a weakened immune system from malnutrition.

“We felt it was very likely that Robin would succumb to what seemed to be insurmountable obstacles to any form of meaningful recovery,” he is quoted as saying by British newspaper The Mirror.

“It is testament to Robin’s extraordinary courage, iron will and deep reserves of physical strength that he has overcome quite incredible odds to get where he is now.

“Robin is fully conscious, lucid and able to speak to his loved ones.”

The star has two children with his ex-wife Molly, and the medical professional paid tribute to his whole family for helping him pull through.
